It's a lot more fun to believe in magic when you know it's not real than to actually believe in magic.

True. But it’s still silly.

So? Ffs have some fun with life before a climate emergency or secret police get to you.

There’s lots of people out there who don’t think playing pretend with magic is enjoyable man. Some people think it’s silly shit. If you like that stuff you’ll just have to accept that part of it.

No shit?? 😒😑

Look dude, there's people out there who believe in magic and you're just going to have to live with that. Don't get your panties in a twist when you see them online and give into the urge to tell them it's silly.

lol I didn’t get my panties in a twist, you do you, but I’m not going to pretend I don’t think adults practicing witchcraft isn’t silly. And it’s obviously not an unpopular opinion. Y’all are being way too defensive about this.

If you were defending Christians believing Jesus is the Son of God people would probably be flipping their shit.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I’d never do that. Also this is the internet, people are gonna flip their shit no matter what I say.

All were trying to tell you is don't go out of your way (which you did) to belittle somebody's faith. It's kinda cringe.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Religions are absolutely not above criticism, what a ridiculous thing to say. If your faith requires you to oppress people for things like, say, being born homosexual, then I’m absolutely going to belittle it. And if your faith says that you believe you can cast magic spells, then I’m going to think that’s fucking silly.

The word faith applies in both contexts that I used it for so I don’t understand your point.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 0 points 19 hours ago

No it doesn't and I know you don't.

FYI around the time you sent this I rubbed my eye, but forgot that I had cut jalapeños earlier...I do not like you

Fear my arcane spells.
